Bug#1033311: sysvinit-utils: pidof not always returning a pid when using the full path to a program

[Markus Fischer]

I could also reproduce it with emacs. I've used emacs-gtk to avoid the 
symlink.

```shell 1
$ emacs-gtk -nw -fn helvetica
```

```shell 2
$ ./pidof emacs-gtk
24727
$ ./pidof $(which emacs-gtk)
$ ls -l $(which emacs-gtk)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5294300 Mar 14 21:30 /usr/bin/emacs-gtk
```
